I really like this incremental game. I wish it was just a bit faster or scaled a lot higher, it felt like the pacing stayed pretty consistent the entire game.

You may only stay out collecting leaves while you are warm. You must go and recharge warmth in your den. You also are trying to build a fire to stay warm for the winter.

A pretty solid incremental game! The visuals are well done, and the idea that each animal offers a unique interaction is both charming and interesting. Here are a few areas I'd suggest improving:
- The early game feels a little slow, but toward the end, you can suddenly afford all the expensive upgrades at once, leaving very little time to appreciate their individual impact. I think the game could benefit from some minor balancing adjustments to make progression feel more consistent and rewarding.
- The music is pleasant, but its repetitive nature becomes more noticeable over time. A longer track or a greater variety of music would help keep the experience fresh.
- While golden leaf already stands out, I think it could be made a little more visually striking so that it immediately catches the player's attention without them having to look too closely.
Overall, this is a very well-made game! The art is beautiful, the gameplay is engaging, and the main character is absolutely adorable. I especially loved how the clothing upgrades are reflected in the character's appearance. It's a lovely detail that makes the progression feel more tangible.
Thank you to the developers for creating such a wonderful project! I hope to see it grow even further. Great job! ❤️
Hi
I absolutely loved this little universe! That adorable little raccoon stole my heart. I just wish I could have played the game in fullscreen!
I did find myself wishing for a sprint or a longer jump, and maybe even some way to hit the tree? But overall, you managed to keep me engaged all the way to the end!
Thanks for creating such beautiful assets and sharing this lovely little world with us!
Best
I love this! There's a lot of cool stuff here and I wanted to highlight a couple of things I noticed that I liked:
- Some of the upgrades feel like I have a bit more control. Like Ivan which lets me "cheese" collecting the leafs by running right behind him
- I love how you don't kill me when it gets cold but just return to me. And then later you have unlocks that give you bonuses if you go back in time
- The little attention to detail when you upgrade the clothes you can actually see the clothes ❤️very cute
- It doesn't feel like a "regular" incremental and that makes it unique to me
- Just that first sight of the tree with all the leafs that tempts you and does foreshadowing of what is to come. very cool
I really like this :-) Good job
Smart and cute concept! I never thought I would have so much fun chasing falling leaves loll
I especially love the SFX when you pick them up, for some reason it just scratches my brain in exactly the right way.. The movement is really neat too. I love the attention to detail, like how jumping on Melvin's head feels bouncy and actually really satisfying. The racoon is also super cute (the shoes.. they're amazing) Also the little zoomies when it gets cold is very very cute!
This is a very charming game. I enjoy it very much :D
I never knew picking up leaves was THIS satisfying,
I really wanted to jump into the tree from the first second gosh.
even besides the gameplay loop, I love the addicting design, for better or worse ^^
great job you two!
A very charming game, my favourite part was bonking melvin on the head! The crunchy sound of the leaves was great and I really appreciated the attention to detail with the tree slowly losing it's leaves - that was a very nice touch!
I felt that the music, which was both calm and quirky, was incredibly appropriate for this game! Regarding game design, I feel like progression could be a little bit faster at the start, but overall, I like the concept which seems well thought out. Regarding presentation, I enjoyed the art style, especially how the leaves look, the raccoon's design/animation, the SFX which were all satisfying, and the music of course. This game is a vibe - great work!
Hey, after your comment I stopped by and it's true we had a similar idea, haha. I really like the physics of the leaves when you collect them. And are the leaves on the tree a limited pool?
Very cozy atmosphere and addictive gameplay! Some music or ambient would help the game, though.
